Hey, yea we had this problem with the other site too. What I did was deactivate lay theme there and switch to another theme. Then with that theme activated another frontpage option showed up, I set it to the default and switched back to lay theme.

Hey there, I have a similar problem: no front page is seen, also no live preview in the customizer.
When I try to access my site franziskaebert.de it's not accessible at all.
By going to http://franziskaebert.de/category/work/ everything's there, plus when you click on the site title it directs to franziskaebert.de in which case it's working (with the work category page as my front page). Where is my mistake?

Hey franziska!
When I visit this address http://franziskaebert.de/ then I see the default message of your webhost that's saying like "a new web presence will come here soon".
Can you connect to your ftp with filezilla and see if theres a file called index.html? That could be the file of that webhost notification. You could try to delete that and then see if it works. You could also write your webhost about that if this doesn't help. Cool site u did btw

Hey !
Similar problem here, with nothing appearing but the menu in front page for this site: www.guiltypleasure.fr, the front page is supposed to be the "latest" page from the menu, wich is set as homepage. I set it as the static front page in the settings, when I switched to another theme than laytheme to access the frontpage settings in the customizing tools, because I also can't see it with laytheme.

When I access the page www.guiltypleasure.fr it's a blank page with menu only, the rest is working, especially the Latest page wich is set as frontpage, and has the same URL. Page becomes blank again when clicking the site title logo.

Hey Armin, I saw my collaborator contacted you via mail and now it's solved, so many thanks for your time!
For the others to know, I couldn't set the frontpage settings right with that theme-switching-trick because the Customizer didn't work properly, due of a Wordpress bug. Problem was the two urls of the -> General -> Settings were not the same.
